Oh, Michael

Dear Michael,

I had to write you a short letter today because I always want to remember it.  There's nothing really special or important about today, we're staying at home playing, but you my child are just so funny and sweet.  You are constantly amazing me with the things you are learning, saying, and doing.  Your personality shines so brightly. 

As you'll find out someday, once you become a parent you never get to go to the bathroom alone. We just recently secured the cabinets under the sinks so you are having to find other things to entertain you while you hang out in the bathroom while Mommy goes potty. Today, you went inbetween the shower curtain and the tub.  It was hilarious.  You were laughing and patting me through the curtain.  You thought it was the best thing ever.  After you get out you come over to me and pat my belly.  I tell you thats my belly button and the babies are in my belly and you laugh, pat my belly, and then give it a kiss. It was adorable. You have not kissed my belly before and I don't think we've told you to, either. It just melted my heart.  I know you're going to love your baby brothers and I hope the transition of bringing them into our lives will not be too hard. You are an amazing and funny little boy.  There is never a dull day with you around. (as I type this you are rolling around on the ground with some silky fabric) I love you forever, monkey!

Love,
Mama

My BOYS!

Well dearest babies,

I just did Michael's blogpost and I'm thinking I'll make this into one blog eventually of just letters to my sweet children.  I'm thinking when you twinsies are born, thats what I'll do.  I am now 19 weeks and 5 days pregnant with you..boys! Yes, that's right you are boys.  I'm sure you know that already but mommy, daddy, and Michael just found out about a week and a half ago.  We were so surprised!! Mommy was convinced that one of you was a girl! I won't say which because I don't want anyone to make fun later but I was so sure.  Apparently, not! Daddy thought it was great we were having boys and says he pretty much knew.  He always said to me "I just know at least one is a boy." :) Well you both are! Michaelbug got to come along for the ultrasound and just wanted to sit on mommy, didn't you? When the tech told us the 2nd baby was a boy too I leaned over and said to you, Michael, Can you believe that?! You're going to have 2 little brothers.  You smirked at me, you know it all! You knew all along didn't you? I think you did! We go back in another couple weeks to make sure all of your little twin parts are working right and we'll get to see you again! Love you little boys!

After we found out we were growing two more boys we went straight to shopping! We got some of the cutest little outfits! Matching onesies for all 3 of you! It's going to be adorable but don't worry when you're old enough, you can pick your own clothes and you won't have to match all of the time ;) We told all of the family and everyone was excited!! Michael, you are practicing being such a big boy already! It makes me so proud and a little sad sometimes that you've grown up so fast!  You are walking all over and talking non stop.  Sometimes I'll pat my belly and say "where are the babies?" And you'll either pat my belly too or pat yours.  Then I tickle you and ask you if you have babies in your belly. You love it, but no, son, there are no babies in your belly :)

We're brainstorming about how to decorate your room little twinsies! We're thinking dinosaurs! Michael is probably going to move in with you guys when you're around a year old and then you guys will have a complete prehistoric jungle! Animals and dinos! I think you three will love it!  I really hope you all become the best of friends. (yes, I know you'll fight. What friends don't?) But I hope you have a bond that lasts forever and that you guys will always be able to be there for each other because times are getting tough here in this world and we need strong, righteous men that I know you can all become.

Love you forever,
Mama
